The words fabric and cloth are used in textile assembly trades (such as tailoring and dressmaking) as synonyms for textile. However, there are subtle differences in these terms in specialized usage. Textile refers to any material made of interlacing fibres. Fabric refers to any material made through weaving, knitting, spreading, crocheting, or bonding that may be used in production of further goods (garments, etc.). Cloth may be used synonymously with fabric but often refers to a finished piece of fabric used for a specific purpose (e.g., table cloth).

Etymology

The word 'textile' is from Latin, from the adjective textilis, meaning 'woven', from textus, the past participle of the verb texere, 'to weave'.

Textile (markup language)

Textile is a lightweight markup language that uses a text formatting syntax to convert plain text into structured HTML markup. Textile is used for writing articles, forum posts, readme documentation, and any other type of written content published online.

History

Textile was developed by Dean Allen in 2002, which he billed as "a humane web text generator" that enabled you to "simply write". Dean created Textile for use in Textpattern, the CMS he also developed about the same time.

Textile is one of several lightweight markup languages to have influenced the development of Markdown.

The first documented (but so far unofficial) wordmark and logo mark was created for Textile in 2015, the repository for which has since become part of the Textile organization on GitHub.

Programming language implementations

Textile was originally written in PHP (maintained as PHP-Textile), and has since been translated into Perl,Python (Python-Textile),Ruby,JavaScript (Textile-JS), and C#. A Java implementation used to exist called "Textile-J", but it was merged into the Mylin WikiText project.
